Demonstrate how your ESG is aligned with your purpose
The increasing flows of capital into ESG related investments means that there is both a significant incentive for firms who can demonstrate the ESG credentials of their funds.
ESG reporting and disclosure is an increasingly important tool that enables investors to compare organisations on a range of sustainability issues, and to guide and inform their ESG investment strategy.
Reporting helps companies to demonstrate that their ESG performance is aligned with their purpose, mission and corporate strategy.
The rise of climate-related litigation and increased scrutiny from regulators over the claims made on ESG performance, mean firms must be confident that their labelling of funds genuinely meets the standards or regulations in question, for example.
Firms that don’t meet disclosure requirements will struggle to attract capital hallmarked for ESG investment and in their own investment due diligence. They also face serious reputational and legal risk if statements cannot be backed by fact.
